Save your boxes and paper towel tubes to make this huge Skeleton Craft! Halloween Skeleton Craft Back in the day, way before I had kids of my own, I worked as an Early Childhood Educator. One Halloween I made this awesome Skeleton craft with my preschool group, after seeing it in a magazine (I think!, it was a long time ago!)

Embed Positivity in Your Kids – Make A Thanksgiving Gratitude Tree
Please welcome the talented Amy Lee as she shows us step by steps instructions on how to create a Gratitude Tree with our families this Thanksgiving.

Monster Finger Puppets!
If you are anything like me, you struggle to find "boy crafts" to do with your boys. If you want a "girl craft" I can rhyme off a dozen but then someone says, "Hey, know any good boy crafts?" I'm all like, "uh,uh,uh...just a sec, I know I have one somewhere!"

Halloween Handprint Ghosts
These Halloween Handprint Ghosts are fun for toddlers! I was cleaning up my boy's closet a couple of weeks ago and found this old piece of art work I did with them when they were smaller.

It must have been the lack of sleep making me crazy! lol Anyways, I thought I would share this handprint craft with ya'll today … [Read more...]
